Two days ago we got word that we are almost certainly not biking through Kenya which dashed the dreams that most riders have of cycling through the African Continent. For a few days the TDA was trying to work an alternate route through Uganda, but given the recent turmoil in Uganda, they did not feel comfortable with going that route either. We have been told that we will ride to the Kenyan border and then flyover to the Kenyan/Tanzanian border. I was really depressed by this. Some riders have talked about stopping in Addis, but I don't think they are serious. Even worse is the fact that we have two wait two weeks w/o our bikes so that we keep the same schedule as there are sectional riders who have already booked tickets to join at specific dates in the future. I’m not sure what I will do in those two weeks, but it is likely that I will try to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro and perhaps go on a safari. I’m also a bit nervous of losing the cycling legs that have taken great effort to attain. I guess this means that I need to return to Kenya at some point to finish the job. Any interest in joining me in a few years??
Anyone interested in climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro in a few weeks? I'M DEAD SERIOUS ABOUT THIS. Come on, do it for Toto.
